In a word, we ask for any light, however small, that may assist in illuminating an important subject.
Above all, we ask you not to carelessly cast aside these words. It is the earnest request of earnest men, seeking truth for its own sake and wisely providing for the historic vindication of their race and name from the possible aspersions of future ignorance and prejudice.
The Society will, of course, bear any expense that may be entailed in the collection, transmission or publication of information proper to our purpose.
Address all correspondence and any requests for further information, which we will be pleased to give, to
R. C. O’Connor,
President, Knights of St. Patrick,
Hibernia Bank,
San Francisco.
James A. Emery,
Secretary, Historical Committee,
